When we first built Policy-Insider.AI, our goal was clear: to give professionals the deep dive at their fingertips. We provide instant access to the complete, official record of European and national policy developments, searchable across institutions, topics, and time.
The Policy-Insider.AI webapp now includes more than seven million policy documents, and we continue to add around 15,000 pages per day, usually within hours after publication. The result is one of the most comprehensive institutional databases in Europe.
But information alone is not enough.
As the database grew, so did one question: how can we make this wealth of verified data more accessible to professionals who don’t have time for daily searches?
The answer is Insights by Policy-Insider.AI — a new service of AI-curated, human-audited newsletters designed to make policy intelligence both trustworthy and scalable.
The Trust Question in the Age of AI
Can an AI be trusted to explain policy developments?
In public affairs and government relations, manual monitoring still dominates. Professionals rely on staff or agencies to read institutional websites, copy information into spreadsheets, and write summaries. It is slow, repetitive work — yet people keep doing it because they can trust it.
After twenty years in EU and pan-European public and government affairs, I understand why. Automation in this field has often disappointed: hallucinated content, broken links, or incomplete coverage erode confidence quickly. The challenge isn’t AI itself — it’s how AI is used.
Why Generic AI Tools Fall Short (And How We’re Different)
Models such as GPT or Gemini are impressive, but they are generalists. Public-policy intelligence, however, requires accuracy, reproducibility, and verifiable sources.
That is why we built Policy-Insider.AI around a different principle: factual grounding in institutional documents.
Every piece of information starts from an official publication and is processed through a transparent retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework. The AI cannot improvise where no source exists. Every link is verifiable.
From Data to Insight: How “Insights” Works
Our first series of newsletters, PQ Insights, is based on the complete set of Parliamentary Questions (PQs) and answers published by the European Commission.
Instead of relying on keyword searches or committee filters, the system performs an individual relevance assessment of every single PQ. This enables coverage of all political signals — including those that traditional monitoring might miss because they don’t fit pre-defined categories.
Because the entire PQ corpus is stored in our database, the system can assess thousands of documents daily, in multiple languages, and update its summaries within hours of publication.
And PQ Insights is only the beginning. We are developing newsletters across vertical datasets (healthcare, energy, digital) and horizontal datasets (agencies, consultations, Member-State-level developments).
The Human + AI Audit Model That Creates Trust
Our confidence in automation rests on a hybrid audit system. Every newsletter output goes through two layers of quality control:
- AI reviews for structural consistency, completeness, and data integrity.
- Human audits for tone, contextual relevance, and factual precision.
The result is machine precision anchored in human judgment. The AI guarantees scale; humans ensure the result meets professional standards. This interplay produces trust.
Two Platforms, One Mission
How do our two platforms work together? It’s simple:
- The `Policy-Insider.AI` App (The “Deep Dive” Tool): This is your powerful, “do-it-yourself” search and monitoring engine. It’s the comprehensive database you use to track your specific keywords and legislative files across 7 million+ documents.
- `Insights by Policy-Insider.AI` (The “Briefing”): This is your new, “done-for-you” expert analysis. Our AI reads everything and assesses it for relevance, not just keywords, to find the emerging trends you need to know about.
Use Insights to discover a new trend, then use the App to do a deep dive on how that trend affects your organization specifically.
A Personal Invitation
AI can read everything, but understanding still requires direction.
At Policy-Insider.AI, our mission is to provide that direction — through verifiable data, reproducible processes, and transparent editorial standards.
If you want to see what responsible, auditable automation looks like in public affairs, I invite you to subscribe to our new newsletters at insights.policy-insider.ai.
If you’re ready for the full “deep dive” tool, I will be glad to show you how our webapp can transform your monitoring. You can book a call with our team here.
